If you cannot do someone any good: don't do them any harm....

What profiteth a man if he gains the entire World at the expense of his immortal soul?

There's nothing wrong with the disk itself i.e. no read-errors or whatever.

I repartitioned, formatted and put a new install on it before I realized I forgot to backup this file.
It's highly likely it got overwritten in the process but I'm not going to give up that easy

Besides sleuthkit/autopsy I also been playing with R-Studio, RaiseDR for UFS, Stellar Phoenix (BSD) and UFS Explorer.
All very impressive programs, I did find other things that used to be on the 'old' filesystem. Quite shocking on one hand but hopeful on the other

Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Whilst the unstoppable copier will handle damaged media, it just attempts to recover everything, so long as it hasn't been overwritten.

It would be worth a try in my opinion

The unstoppable copier will attempt to reassemble all files........... so let it run then look for those that are 64 bytes long.

When I have used it in the past it has managed to recover partial text files, which is a lot better than nothing? Obviously, in your case you need the file intact, so if you cannot find a 64 byte file then I suppose you must have overwritten it?
